After a sharp radiogram from Brien McMahon, criminal division chief in the Attorney General's Office, Judge Thomas snorted that a subpoena was unnecessary, promised to debark in the Canal Zone and return immediately if necessity demanded. Though Federal authorities said they wanted Judge Thomas and his books chiefly for the Manton investigation, they confessed their interest in a case from Judge Thomas' own court: the McKesson & Robbins receivership that exploded the notorious Coster-Musica drug scandal (TIME...
Henry IV, Part I (by William Shakespeare; produced by Maurice Evans). Though Henry IV contains the greatest comic figure in English literature, it has been produced on Broadway only once (for a week in 1926) in 43 years. One reason: the whole play cannot be performed in a single evening; another: Falstaff is not only the greatest but the fattest of comic figures, and a severe physical strain on any actor who, all padded and stuffed, impersonates him. For that weighty reason, Maurice Evans announced he would play Falstaff for only four weeks...
...uncut Hamlet, Margaret Webster's fine direction gives life and movement to a congested, multiform play. If the production has faults, they spring from excess of theatricality, not from taking Shakespeare too reverently. As Falstaff, Actor Evans has gusto and wit, though not quite enough of the knight's profound worldliness. And-perhaps surprisingly-he is better as the fat roisterer than he was as the melancholy Dane...
...eight years Picasso and Fernande lived in Montmartre in the famous "bateau lavoir" (floating laundry) at 13 Rue Ravignan (now Place Emile Goudeau), a fantastic barrack tenanted by painters, sculptors, writers, cartoonists, laundresses and pushcart peddlers. Picasso was Spanishly jealous of his 18-year-old mistress-though he was grateful enough that the ogling coal dealer neglected to leave a bill. To keep her at home he did the marketing himself, dressed in the cap, espadrilles and blue jeans of a workman, plus a famous white-polka-dotted red shirt that cost him less than two francs. The mystic poet...
Picasso's enemies attribute to him a peasant tightness with his money. There are few stories of his personal generosity, though it is a fact that any poor but promising poet can get a Picasso etching for his book by asking for it. He has certainly contributed a great deal to the Loyalist side in the Spanish civil war: the Guernica mural free, all proceeds from exhibiting it (to date about $5,000), at least two fully equipped fighting planes, and during the last few weeks a cash gift of 300,000 francs...
